 15:4 Neuerthelesse, x3588 for Dauids y1732 sake x4616 x1732 did the LORD 3068 his God 430 giue 5414 z8804 him a lampe 5216 in Ierusalem, 3389 to set vp 6965 z8687 x853 his sonne 1121 after 310 him, and to establish 5975 z8687 x853 Ierusalem: 3389

 15:5 Because x834 Dauid 1732 did 6213 z8804 that which [was] x853 right 3477 in the eies 5869 of the LORD, 3068 and turned not aside 5493 z8804 x3808 from any x4480 x3605 thing that x834 he commanded 6680 z8765 him all x3605 the daies 3117 of his life, 2416 saue onely x7535 in the matter 1697 of Uriiah 223 the Hittite. 2850

 15:7 Now the rest 3499 of the actes 1697 of Abiiam, 38 and all x3605 that x834 hee did, 6213 z8804 are they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the booke 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Iudah? 3063 And there was x1961 warre 4421 betweene x996 Abiiam 38 and Ieroboam. 3379

 15:8 And Abiiam 38 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and they buried 6912 z8799 him in the citie 5892 of Dauid: 1732 and Asa 609 his sonne 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 15:10 And forty 705 and one 259 yeeres 8141 reigned 4427 z8804 hee in Ierusalem: 3389 and his mothers 517 name 8034 [was] Maachah, 4601 the daughter 1323 of Abishalom. 53

 15:11 And Asa 609 did 6213 z8799 that which [was] right 3477 in the eies 5869 of the LORD, 3068 as did Dauid 1732 his father. 1

 15:12 And hee tooke away 5674 z8686 the Sodomites 6945 out of x4480 the land, 776 and remooued 5493 z8686 x853 all x3605 the idoles 1544 that x834 his fathers 1 had made. 6213 z8804

 15:13 And also x1571 x853 Maachah 4601 his mother, 517 euen her hee remoued 5493 z8686 from [being] Queene, 1377 x4480 because x834 she had made 6213 z8804 an idole 4656 in a groue, 842 and Asa 609 destroyed 3772 z8799 x853 her idole, 4656 and burnt 8313 z8799 [it] by the brooke 5158 Kidron. 6939

 15:14 But the high places 1116 were not x3808 remooued: 5493 z8804 neuerthelesse, x7535 Asa 609 his heart 3824 was x1961 perfect 8003 with x5973 the LORD 3068 all x3605 his dayes. 3117

 15:15 And he brought y935 z8686 in x935 x853 the things y6944 z0 which his father 1 had dedicated, 6944 and the things which himselfe had dedicated, 6944 into the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 siluer, 3701 and gold, 2091 and vessels. 3627

 15:16 ¶ And there was x1961 war 4421 betweene x996 Asa 609 and Baasha 1201 King 4428 of Israel 3478 all x3605 their dayes. 3117

 15:17 And Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel 3478 went vp 5927 z8799 against x5921 Iudah, 3063 and built 1129 z8799 x853 Ramah, 7414 that he might not x1115 suffer 5414 z8800 any to goe out 3318 z8802 or come in 935 z8802 to Asa 609 king 4428 of Iudah. 3063

 15:19 [There is] a league 1285 betweene x996 me and thee, [and] betweene x996 my father 1 and thy father: 1 behold, x2009 I haue sent 7971 z8804 vnto thee a present 7810 of siluer 3701 and gold; 2091 come y3212 z8798 x1980 and breake 6565 z8685 x853 the league 1285 with x854 Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel, 3478 that he may depart 5927 z8799 from x4480 x5921 me.

 15:20 So Benhadad 1130 hearkened 8085 z8799 vnto x413 king 4428 Asa, 609 and sent 7971 z8799 x853 the captaines 8269 of the hosts, 2428 which x834 he had, against x5921 the cities 5892 of Israel, 3478 and smote 5221 z8686 x853 Iion, 5859 and Dan, 1835 and Abel-Bethmaachah, 62 and all x3605 Cinneroth, 3672 with x5921 all x3605 the land 776 of Naphtali. 5321
